Brown Trout
While Spring Lake is renowned for its bass and panfish, it also offers a unique opportunity to target brown trout, particularly in the cooler months. The Grand River, which feeds into Spring Lake, supports a population of migratory brown trout that move into the lake in the fall and winter. This is when you'll have the best chance of connecting with these fish. Focus your efforts near the river mouth and along the deeper channels of the lake. A local tip is to troll crankbaits or cast spoons in these areas. Be aware of the strong currents near the river mouth, which can make boat control challenging. The brown trout in Spring Lake tend to be larger than those found in smaller streams, often averaging 3-5 pounds, with larger specimens possible. Remember to check the current fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits for brown trout in the Grand River and Spring Lake before heading out.
